A PRETTY AND PRETENrIoUs DOLL
HoUsE.-One Of the largest, prettiest and
most elaborate things we have seen in the
way of doll house, Mr.. James H. LASH
ter has Just had built for his little grand
daughter, Miss Zenie. 1t is quite large
enough for the little lady to pass in and
out, while the roOms-three in number-are
Of sufficient size for her to play "housekeep-
ing" with her dollies even if she has an
extensive family of them. The windows
are provided with sash that can be raised
or lowered, and altogether it is a perfect
little house in every respect. That Miss
Zenie will be proud of being at the head
of such an establishment we have no
doubt, and she will take pleasure in show
ing her little friends through it when she
gets it furnished and fitted up for house
keeping. The house was built by Ed. Mer-
rimon, one of our worthy cOlored me-
ehanics.
The hundred dollar Hackney Bros
buggy, the best in the South, reduced to
seventy-fve dollars. Wagons and carts
reduced price. Call early; they must 60.

DRUG BUSINESS FOR SALE.-AS will be
seen by local advertisement in this paper,
A. NJ. Jordan & Co. offer their drug bust
ness for sale-entire stock, including store
fixtures, &C., as it stands. The only reason
wishes to engage in other business. Not
being professional druggist himself he
has to employ some one to conduct the bus
mess for him, and this middle mans pay
he could save and turn to profit in another
direction in some business that he could
attend to himself. And then Mr.. Macon
the young gentleman who is with him at
present will leave in few months to take
a course in pharmacy in Philadelphia or
New York, which would necessitate the
employment of another man, taking the
risk of getting the right sort of one, &c.
The business is we'll established, and will
be sold at a bargain. A rare opportunity
is here offered some experienced druggist
to engage in the bushes in a growing town.
To get good likeness of yourself, or to
have an old picture enlarged and made as
natural as life, at small cost, call on
Geo. Newell, in the Art Gallery over Mr..
DOrSeyS store. may ia.
WILL LEAVE THE STATE.-The GOLD
LEAF regrets to learn that Mr.. Edward A.
Oldham, editor and proprietor of the Win
Ston Sentinel, has decided to leave the State
and North Carolina journalism. Recently
an offer was made him to accept a position
on the Hot Blast, new daily paper just
established by syndicate at Admission,
Alabama, but Mr.. Oldham declined to &C.
cept and said he would remain where he
was. Greater inducements have been held
out to him, however, and we learn he has
decided to accept the engagement. We are
sorry to learn this. North Carolina has
need of her young men and we desire te
see them lending their talents and energie:
in the direction of building up their mother
State, but where such efforts are not appre
ciated at their full value, we need not ex
press surprise at seeing people going where
they are. We get our information abou
Mr.. Oldhams recent decision from the
Wilmington Star. 1t says:
From private letter from Mr. E. A
Oldham, editor of the Winston Sentinel, WI

his new field. Our best wishes attend him
